I've seen some negative comments about the name, the graphics based on screenshots, some about the publisher and assumptions related to a small company being able to deliver a high quality game, and some general naysaying, but I'm here to tell you that in my humble oppinion, PBG has a winner.

Prime has the perfect combination from an architectural standpoint to make a game FUN. With a dynamic crafting system which produces the best gear in the game, you can truely have a player driven economy especially when you consider gear decay. This tied into the fact that you have to PvP to get the resources for the best gear, forms a tight and symbiotic relationship between crafting and PvP. Add Bases and some of the other features to the mix, and you have a game that is going to be fun to play!

Will it be perfect? No. But it looks like it will be highly engaging and produce the "old school" MMO experience and feel.

It will be a great game I think, especially for those of you like pvp and crafting, but sayings its a sleeping giant is a bit wrong I think. Mainly because their's already two giants walking around and bashing every other mmo on the head (gw2 and swtor).

I don't think it will topple these two games, there's just no way for prime unfortunately, because it's not AAA. Does that mean it will do bad? I don't think so. I think it will do very good, in fact I think it has the potential to be another eve (which is a very sucessful game). Because it appeals to different type of mmo-er...the mere fact it's indie, it's pvp focused, and it doesn't have the same funding other games get (meaning less polish and available features, regardless if the features it does have are awesome), automatically is going to make this a niche game in a mmo market that will soon have a lot of high budget games (archage,tera,gw2,swtor, ect..)

But I still look foward to playing it,and I have confidence that it will bring some fun pvp regardless. Prime and gw2 next year for the price of one sub, gona be a fun year.

Agree, it's going to be a fun game to play. I'm not saying its going to topple the "giants" in the industry, I'm merely pointing out that from a feature standpoint they are doing the right things. When I say "sleeping giant" I mean its under the radar and has a lot of potential. I'm not trying to predict subscriber numbers or success, just fun factor.

I tend to think that that as it gets more attention and old school PvP'ers tune in, it will become very popular.

this game seems to be everything that so many people are looking for. The only thing i really can see bringing this game down is a bad launch and a lack of a playerbase. Can't have a player driven economy without players.

Personally I can't wait. I will be playing this as soon as i possibly can

I agree. The big thing they need is it to WORK. No major issues at launch and it will gain a stable following hype or not.

Also agree. While i will play SWTOR to pass the time and play with the wife (huge SW fan), I will be watching and waiting for this game to release. The added pvp bonus is lootable resources for me. While I did enjoy Darkfall the full loot model got to be a bit much because I really disliked always having to make up new gear bags. Prime seems like just the right amount of pvp looting to me for having a death penalty that will have meaning without going to far.

You necro-bumped a thread to just to state the obvious? Really?

While it wont be as big as swtor or gw2, it will be hugely successful. First of all it runs the same engine that swtor is built on. Secondly it is going a completely different direction than swtor is going in with the whole WoW clone issue. Sure it wont have the fancy voice overs or 300 million dollars worth of production but it will be DIFFERENT and FUN. DaoC proved the system is by far the best for an open world pvp game. The game just got left behind with outdated controls and clunky UI. Dominus is fixing these things and bringing you a game that will play as a true successor to DaoC.

Players that hear about how good the pvp is once it's released will be sure to try it out. All I can hope for is that they stick around through the lower levels to experience truely epic faction based pvp.

There are too many PvP addicts. the world doesn't revolve around killing eachother. I love to roleplay and vanquish enemies but I don't go searching for a game based on OMG THEY ALLOW RVR BUT THE COMBAT SUCKS! I'M GOING TO GIVE THEM ALL MY MONEY. Apparently I'm very pissed up to now with the stupidity of the members whom decide to play a game based on this. I personally look for real games. You DO NOT make this game sound good by saying this, and therefore I'd prefer you pointed out ALL the features.

Ok i'll jump in here but on another tac i was invited to test the then Prime which at the time was Pitch black beta test,so it was very basic and it was mainly a enviroment test which was even then very impressive.

Now as Dominus is useing the Hero engine and at the time of test SWTOR was hopefully the mythical successor to SWG-pre NGE,i had this engine with stunning vista's and total freeform movement in the enviroment been used to bring to life the Star wars IP:

So what the heck happened did Bioware actually use the engine,or just the design tools because if PB can get that kind of enviroment on a very early Alpha i think this will be a player in the market maybe niche but look out for this as it could suprise many.

They say they used the engine but tweaked and changed it so much that it's a different animal now.

I for one will be playing.

Did you remember darkfall?

Yes but Pitchblack are not a virtual one man dev team who released a shoddy product and made promises at the time were impossible to keep.

These guys know their stuff they are industry vets,and if i'm not mistaken were Daoc players so they have a idea and plan as to what they want to achieve, and pretty sure have substantial backing which helps.

And also u know there is something different about these Devs when they invited players to test the Alpha from these very forums which i think is kinda cool.
